Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha. But I do have this really cute sticker with him on it!

Chappie Four ... Kagome in a Kimono

Will we ever find Yaku? Kagome couldn't help but wonder this. She knew how much Inuyasha wanted the spell removed, and she couldn't blame him. But really, what could be done for him if they really had no great leads to get to Yaku? Was it a hopeless waste of time?

"How far north do we hafta go to find this Yaku creep?" Shippo complained.

Nobody answered because nobody knew exactly how they could answer his question. Kagome couldn't help but wonder the same thing herself. She didn't dare say this out loud, though.

While Kagome was deep in these negative thoughts, Miroku had other things on his mind—especially Sango. He kneeled down in front of Sango and smiled slightly. Sango recognized the smile instantly. She wasn't fooled.

"Sango, I know I have asked this plenty in the past, but I feel now more than ever like I must"—he paused for a moment before continuing—"…Will you bear my children?"

Sango instinctively smacked him across the cheek. She couldn't believe he still had the nerve enough to ask her that! She glared at Miroku, who was doctoring his slapped cheek.

"You don't need the truth spell to know that Sango's answer to the question is the honest truth," Kagome said smirking.

Inuyasha didn't appreciate her joke very much.

Later on, it began to grow dark. The group, weary as ever, decided to find a place to sleep for the night. They made a fire and went quickly to bed, too tired to even consider eating.

The next morning, Kagome awoke soaking wet. It had rained during the night.

"Crud!" she exclaimed. "I forgot to bring extra clothes to wear!"

Sango smiled as she tried to get a fire going again. "That's okay. I have clothes you can borrow."

That's why, seven minutes later, Kagome came out wearing a white kimono. She wasn't accustomed to wearing clothes like it, but she knew she had no choice but to adjust until her clothes dried out.

She remembered the last time she had worn a kimono, shortly after she had met Inuyasha. He hadn't liked it much because she reminded him too much of Kikyo when she wore the garments. She wondered what he would think this time. Well, one thing was for sure—she would soon find out.

Sure enough, when Inuyasha saw her, he did kind of look surprised. He tried to pretend he didn't care, though. Kagome simply wouldn't allow that.

"What do you think of the kimono?" she asked, knowing that Inuyasha would have to tell the truth.

Inuyasha responded, "It makes your butt look big."

Kagome's face immediately flushed. She smacked Inuyasha promptly across the face. THWAK!

Inuyasha glared and continued, "But that's a good thing."

He received another sharp blow to the face. He couldn't understand why he had been smacked, for he had only told the truth when asked. He was beginning to think that truth was seriously overrated. Oh, wait. He had realized that before all ready.

Kagome, on the other hand, was completely embarrassed. At least she had gotten some relief from smacking Inuyasha. Now she understood how nice it felt for Sango to do that.

"You know," Shippo said, observing Kagome closely, "I think Inuyasha's right. It does look bigger."

Kagome resisted punching out Shippo. She knew that he didn't realize the full extent to what he was saying. So instead, she slapped Inuyasha again.

"Ouch! What was that for?" Inuyasha yelled.

Before Kagome could answer him by beginning an argument with him, Miroku spoke up.

"Ahem," he said coolly. "I agree with Shippo and Inuyasha. But it is a good thing…a very good thing. If only Sango would—"

Now Kagome was furious. Her face was red from both embarrassment and anger. Boys simply didn't know when to keep their mouths shut!

She flinched and said as calmly as possible, "Inuyasha…SIT!"

But she still wasn't satisfied. "SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT!"

Inuyasha's back hurt for the rest of the entire day.

A/N: Okay…crappy chapter. I know, I know. But I am kinda having writers block and I'm busy with my other story. It has been a while since I've updated, though, hasn't it? Heh… Anyway, review if you like o.0

Sesshy (busy sticking finger up nose): "Do, dee, dooooo…"
Rin (approaching him): "Lord Sesshomaru, are you picking your nose again?"
…"greatest" demon of the land quickly yanks finger out of nose and pretends not to have done anything…
Sesshy: "No! Of course not! I just…had an itch there!"
Rin (sarcastically): "Suuuuure…"
…Sesshy frowns and turns away to pick nose more…
Sesshy: "I am so glad Inuyasha isn't here to see this."
Inuyasha (taking picture of nose-pickin' Sesshy with disposable camera): "I am sooo glad Kagome taught me how to work this thing."

What the heck possessed me to write the above short script? I haven't the faintest. But it was probably boredom.
